Count the subscriptions the telly has now
Sky or Virgin underneath. Netflix. Disney+ for the kids. NOW for the sport. Prime, because it came with something. And one more you've forgotten. Everyone has one they've forgotten.
One payment. Your own telly.
Live channels, sport, films, box sets and the kids' channels on one login, on the telly you already have. The 10-month subscription costs €100. Lifetime player activation is €15 only if needed; an already working player has no activation charge. A real person sets it up over WhatsApp. Try it free for 24 hours first, no card.
Free for 24 hours · No card · No automatic renewal

The story, in your own time
Seven short chapters. Go and open the banking app first; this reads better with the real numbers beside it.

Sky or Virgin underneath. Netflix. Disney+ for the kids. NOW for the sport. Prime, because it came with something. And one more you've forgotten. Everyone has one they've forgotten.

Chapter 02 of 07
Prices checked 8 September 2026: Netflix Ireland lists €11.99 to €25.99 a month. Disney+ regular monthly prices run from €8.99 to €15.99, with introductory offers available. NOW lists a €27 sports bundle with a 12-month minimum term, then €72.98 a month unless cancelled; optional Boost costs extra. None of them feels like a bill. Together they are one, and it's bigger than the one you cut.

Chapter 03 of 07
Ofcom's data for the UK shows subscription revenue climbing year after year while the share of households subscribing barely moved. The money isn't coming from new customers. It's coming from the same houses paying a bit more, six times.

Chapter 04 of 07
TellyPal is a telly service you pay for once. The €100 subscription covers 10 months of 54,000+ live channels, 168,000+ films and 44,000+ box sets and series in one guide, on one login, on the telly you already own. No monthly anything. Check the ones your house actually watches during the trial; that's what it's for. Lifetime player activation is €15 only if needed; an already working player has no activation charge.

Chapter 05 of 07
Send two details: your name and your WhatsApp number. Nothing else, and no card. One form instead of six sign-ups.
the TellyPal team messages you back. A real person, not a bot. He sends your login and gets it onto the telly you already have. About five minutes, usually less. You take a photo of your screen; he types in the rest from his end.
Watch for 24 hours. Put on the thing you actually care about and judge it with your own eyes. When the 24 hours are up, nothing happens, because there's nothing on file.

You've heard the stories. The fella on Facebook who took the money and vanished. The box that froze at kick-off. That's why TellyPal is built so you don't have to take anyone's word for it. Test it first, on your own broadband, no card. Pay by card through Stripe; we never see your card number. Read the reviews on Trustpilot, including the bad ones.
Try the full service for 24 hours on your own broadband, with no card. If you buy, all four plans include a 90-day money-back guarantee, subject to the refund policy. Read the terms before paying and message the TellyPal team if you need to request a refund.

One payment is possible because there's nothing to keep paying for. No dish to fit. No engineer's van. No box in the post. No call centre to fund. What you still pay for yourself: your own broadband. One account covers one telly; One account plays on one device at a time. For simultaneous screens, choose a separate subscription or buy two subscriptions and get the third account free. On six- and ten-month plans, lifetime player activation is €15 per player (€45 for three). Activation is included on 24-month and Lifetime plans. Account transfers are free on all four plans. A working, activated player has no new activation charge. If a different player needs activation, its separate price is confirmed before you proceed. A transfer removes access from the old device and preserves the remaining service term.
Compare your own TV-only costs with the full subscription price and any activation fee before paying.

Your questions
That's up to you. Most people run the trial first, see what they actually use, then cancel what they don't need.
Live channels, films, box sets, kids' channels and catch-up, in one guide. Check the specific things your house watches during the 24 hours; if one matters, ask the TellyPal team before you pay.

You message a real person on WhatsApp, not a phone queue and not a ticket system. The same person who set you up is the one you come back to, so you are never explaining it from scratch. Most things are sorted in a couple of messages, and if something needs re-pushing to your device we do it from our end. That is the whole idea: the telly gets set up for you rather than you being handed a manual and wished luck.
Yes, and we would rather you did. The trial runs 24 hours, needs no card and no account, and works on the telly you already own. Send your name and WhatsApp number and your login comes back in minutes. Use it on a real night in: check the channels you actually care about and see whether the picture holds at kick-off. When the 24 hours are up nothing happens automatically, because there is nothing on file.
